Headset question
I just picked up a 2006 Cervelo frameset. it's generally very clean, but the headset grease and steerer look dirty. I'm not the original owner, so i can't really speak for its history.
(1) Since it's already a ~5-6 year old bike, would you replace the headset or simply clean and regrease?
(2) If i do replace the headset, what type do i need? the cone says FSA "IS-2", but on FSA's site there are a ton of integrated headsets.

Headsets tend to last a very long time unless they've been poorly adjusted.
If you can adjust it so you can't feel any slop or brinneling, it's good to go.
